    Poast the ugliest Guitar, Bass, or Amp you can find.

    That's Robert Mothersbaugh of Devo, btw.

    Not quite as radical as some of the others posted here...heck, some might even find it attractive...

    WTF: Charmin

    I've often thought about the weirdness of those bears, and also about how tough it is to promote a product no one really wants to talk about (or hear about while you're eating dinner). I mean, how much can you harp on "absorbency" and "strength" and show those blue liquid demos? As for "why...

    Whats your favorite "music" movie?

    Without debating the merit of other films (though I really loved That Thing You Do), how about a little opera by the name of "Tommy?"

    the 47-foot speedboat he named Sexual Chocolate

    You talking about Rodman or Sapp? The article linked referenced the latter, though I think it's Rodman with the boat. They're both morons, of one level or another. Good thing that the NFL recruits only after players get a college edumacation, right? Really, though...Rodman is probably far...

    Guitars made of something other than wood...

    Huff and Puff.. I think that some of these guys must have had a stint with the "Tres Puercolocos Band," learning from their unsuccessful experiments with guitars made out of straw and sticks.

    Question: What is the best free antivirus software?

    I used and paid for McAfee for years. Properly configured (without all their extras), I found it to be the best behaved and least intrusive solution available (and McAfee pretty much invented the industry). Seems like every time I sat down at someone's computer with AVG, it was always popping...

    Any "reasonable" gear GAS this month?

    Hog 30 I want a Pignose Hog 30. My acoustic bass can't hang, unplugged, with acoustic guitars...at least not without wearing out my fingers, so I need a little boost. This amp seems to be the only battery/portable one that is at least passable for bass. Plus, it will be useful if my...

    What makes a "Good" Bassist?

    That's a very good point, actually. The best bassists WANT to be playing bass. While I have a little bit of envy for the guys who can do a lot of fancy stuff that I haven't mastered, the reality is, most people listening/watching (except maybe other musicians) really just don't give a shit...

    We've bought a vacation home.

    I've seen those tiny houses! They're cool, but looking at them makes me a bit claustrophobic. :eek: Some more redneck ingenuity here: http://allamericasbest.com/photo_redneckhumor.htm Scary how close to reality these things are getting..

    The official Blues Jam Thread.

    Thanks, Mark. Those ads add up :aok: Google makes 'em somewhat content-sensitive so that you shouldn't be seeing junk for dating sites, etc. Although...there may be an odd one advertising Smucker's jam. :D Like a lot of sites, it tends to be out of sight and mind until people get in the...

    I'm considering raffling off a guitar for our "open house" in September.

    Since there seem to be a lot of suggestions (my personal preference would be to have a bass), perhaps you could offer a few low-end options? Might be a little waiting time, if you didn't have them in stock, but at least the winner would have a picture to look at. drool0 How do we go about...
